I’ve been using Linux Mint since forever. I’ve never felt a reason to change. But I’m interested in what persuaded others to move.

      I think you are referring to gnome more than debian. I’ve been trying debian with kde and so far I haven’t found that many problems.

        Debian with Gnome is also pretty alright. I’ve been using that for a long time now. I guess it depends a bit where you come from. If you want something like Windows, it’s probably a big deal for you. If you’re used to Android or MacOS, you might enjoy the Gnome experience.

      The Whisker menu in XFCE and Cinnamon start menus are GODSENDS to new users.

      I needed them so badly when I was first getting started in Linux because I didn’t even know what programs I had installed.
